betsy's lovely little visit to dc

we took a day trip to saint michaels, maryland. we had some delicious crab cakes, as is custom while on the eastern shore, and just walked around a bit. we especially had fun with the walls that you poke your head through...i think bets has the rest of those photos. i wish i had a photo of our charming waitress named pocket, yes pocket, but alas i don't. very unfortunate.

Stella's 1/2 Birthday

Stella turned 5 1/2 on Saturday. Since we were out of town then, we celebrated tonight with our usual brownie cake and 5.5 candles. It's usually a half cake, but this time Stella wanted it round.
So here's to Stella, for five and a half years of excellence.

oh the life of an only child.
